Frequently
Asked Questions
What’s included in the service?
If there’s one thing we’ve learned from 25 years of farm mapping, it’s that every farm is different! So, get it touch to have a chat about your farm and any unique requirements you might have, and we can customise a bespoke package just for you.
Typically, this may include:
- One-on-one consultation (via video call) with one of our expert mappers to understand and map your farm.
- Magnetic white board up to 1200mm x 1800mm
- Tear-off map notepads
- Up to five data-specific digital maps
- Digital map in Shapefile format, compatible with farm management software
There are also a range of option add-ons you can purchase, including gate signs, additional data layers, extra-large whiteboards and more.
Can you map farms anywhere in Australia?
Yes, we map farms all across Australia, and internationally! Simply schedule a video call at your convenience to connect with one of our expert mappers, and we’ll take care of the rest.
How much of my time is required?
Your time commitment is usually no more than 1-2 hours of undistracted attention from your most knowledgeable farmer in a single session. This will vary depending on the size and complexity of the property.
What if I need to update my map with changes?
We get it! Things change on farms – you shift a fence, lay new pipes, or acquire more land. Good news is that it’s easy to get your map updated. You don’t have to pay for the whole package again - just contact us anytime for a quote to make updates. We recommend reviewing and updating your map every two years so that we can help you retain the most accurate information about your property.
What types of farms do you map?
Any and every type! Be it dairy, cattle, sheep, cropping, orchard, or even medicinal cannabis, we can map it!
Can you map a golf course, council land, camp site, sailing club, school or other non-farming property?
We can help! The accuracy and care taken in our mapping is ideal for golf courses, work sites, cemeteries, council lands, and many more… Our cutting edge satellite imagery, professional mapping software, and flexible pipeline is perfect for any job.
Tell me more about the white board - size, material, etc.
Depending on your farm, the standard whiteboard can be up to 1200mm (H) x 1500mm (W). The optimum size will depend on the proportions of your property and the presence of any additional charts and tables. It’s made from long-lasting magnetic Colorbond and is designed to be attached to a wall anywhere you want. Additionally, we offer a range of other farm management charts and tables that can accompany the map on the whiteboard.
How long will it take to map my farm?
Depending on our workload and your availability, we’re generally able to kick off the first consultation within ten working days. We then aim to send you a digital version of your map for approval five working days after that, and with your whiteboard being delivered ten days after approval. We aim to have the whole process completed within thirty working days.
How much do I need to pay upfront?
Nothing! You won’t be invoiced until the mapping work has been completed, after which you’ll then have seven days to pay.
